  • Was in "R" division, did fire watch patrols, saw fires, people running, ship shook from explosions. and that was December of 69. All in your mind, I was told.

  • My friend you described that day of July 29 1967 perfectly and I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and know the souls or spirit, ghost are real so it was not in your mind. May the Lord Jesus Bless you always. Thanks so much for commenting and getting back with me by comments.

    o7jimmy, Jimmy ( Ski in HVAH-11, USS Forrestal )

  • The ship shook so bad I was momentarily hanging on a forward latter so as not to fall aft.

  • Didn't get to the Forrestal until the Med cruise after the fire, It was haunted!

  • Thanks for your comment and I never made a Med cruise but I wondered if the ship would be haunted after the great lost of life in there young ages. Thanks again for this comment.

  • I remember this, Jimmy! 44 years ago, this coming July 18th (1967).....I was on my way home. Stayed in the military until January 13, 1978. bob

  • " Johnny was the only kid in the class who did not raise his hand when asked who liked Obama.

    teacher asked Johnny does not like Obama.

    Little Johnny answered, 'well, my Mom's a Republican and my Dad's a

    Republican, so I'm a Republican.'

    Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, 'If your mom was a moron and

    your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?

    With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, 'that would make me an Obama

    fan.'

  • Pray McCain win's this election thene need to get all of the socialists out of our Gov.

    out of the senate, out of the house of rep's and out of the supreme court.

    this is a real wake up call!

  • We should never forget. Why do people not get that? the USS COLE was not that long ago, but it seems to be out of the minds of people already. May GOD bless you daily and THANK YOU for your service to this great land.

  • Well "deezhiphop", whoever you are? Haave you ever been in the military? Those of us who HAVE BTDT, know what it's all about; we don't abandon our ships, we fight for them! Just like we fight for our buddies if we're "Grunts"..and they fight for us! Doing otherwise is a disgrace! Understand? Semper Fi!

  • Thank you for posting this video of the tragedy that day on the USS Forrestal, o7jimmy. And, thank you sir for your service to our country! Semper Fi! McCain-Palin '08

    But, how is related to that Sarah Palin video? This video is a response to that video but I fail to see any connection.
